Summary

Money can be provided as needed to the Secretary of Agriculture so the Secretary can take charge of the Recreation Area and run it as part of the National Forest System. Money can also be provided as needed to the Secretary of the Interior for activities inside the Recreation Area. The Agriculture Secretary can spend those funds in ways similar to how the Tennessee Valley Authority did before the transfer, such as running campgrounds and visitor services, paying for ads, and buying food and supplies to resell. The Agriculture Secretary must not use the funds for any activity described in section 460lll–24(b).
